Wow, so much excitement during the past week for Fluffy and his fans. We couldn't believe it when the NBC reporter called to interview Foster Mom, Marilyn and Fluffy. What an opportunity to show the world how special Fluffy is and how well he is doing in his weight loss campaign!
Speaking of which everyone wants to know how he did this past week! Drumroll, please.... 32.9 pounds! WOW, another .6 pounds. Way to go, Fluffy!
And considering that Fluffy wasn't able to exercise as much since last week --- he hurt his leg and has been limping around the house but seems to be improving each day.
Last week, we also received a number of questions about Fluffy's diet. It's included below and on a tab at the top of this blog. Hope you find it helpful in helping your furry friend.
Innova
Low Fat Adult Dog Food, 374 calories per cup. Vet estimated he needed
between 366-433 calories per day, if his ideal weight is between 20 and
25 lbs. He gets scant, not generous 1/2 cup morning and evening, plus two squirts of
fish oil on top of his food at each meal. That
leaves room for treats and dental chews. Baby carrots are only 4 calories per medium baby
carrot, whereas a milk bone is 40 calories per medium sized biscuit. And he gets a glucosamine
tablet every night to help with his joints.
